LSAT Podcast Episode 74: Guessing Strategy (To Guess or Not to Guess; There Is No Question)

PowerScore LSAT Podcast

Guessing on the LSAT is never ideal, but if you’re forced to it’s best to play the odds. In this episode Dave and Jon break down guessing strategy section by section, offering statistical suggestions to help you gain every possible point.

 Timestamps

LSAT Guessing Strategy

13:11 – When does this apply? These strategies will specifically apply to students who can’t finish a section or can’t choose an answer to a problem. Always guess, but don’t guess randomly!

17:35 – Why it matters. The history behind finding answer choice patterns and digging through what was random and what wasn’t on past tests that lead to these informed guessing strategies.

Answer Choice Probability

Dave and Jon analyze the stats at a few different levels:

24:40 – Overall test.

26:34 – Per section.

35:17 – Final 5 questions in any given section.
